Chilli Tacos

Chilli Tacos are a favourite in most homes.This is an easy beef taco recipe that shows you how to make tacos with ingredients you have in your cupboard and fridge. I didn't have tinned tomatoes so used passata, I didn't have fresh veg apart from 1/2pk of stir fry so used that ....you get the drift. You can make it as spicy as you like or keep it cool with some sour cream dip. The choice is yours. Tacos are crunchy, messy and great fun to eat...you can let the family assemble them whichever way they like or do the assembly yourself. Either way a bib is a must lol. Why not give this a try and let us know how you get on in the comments below. We love to hear your feedback x
